Chapter 264: Scandal

Gu Shenwei was able to find Tie Hanfeng's granddaughter and save her life, purely by chance.

Three years ago, Xu Xiaoyi and Chu Nanping were arrested in the stone fort, Gu Shenwei had already had the intention of defecting at that time, and decided to make some preparations in advance, so after rescuing the two, he immediately asked someone to send them to Shule Country overnight, this move proved to be correct later, when Shen Liang returned to power and wanted to arrest the witness again, he could not find a clue in Biyu City.

No one could have imagined that an ordinary killer would have so much money, and Jinpeng Castle has not investigated in this regard.

A pair of good friends came to Shule City, childish in appearance, with a large number of silver tickets, a total of more than one million taels, unfamiliar with life, and did not even dare to cash out too much silver immediately, and could not help but feel a little panicked in their hearts.

Xu Xiaoyi decided to start from the field he was most familiar with, took Chu Nanping, and plunged into the shops where the brothels in Shule City were piled up, and mingled in them for nearly half a year, enjoying the happiness that gold and silver can bring.

When Xu Xiaoyi indulged in lust, Chu Nanping practiced swords in the courtyard, strangely, he didn't feel the impact at all, but his mood was more condensed, the Wangcheng Lane where he used to live was not a paradise, and it was difficult for strange things to enter the "ruthless heart" of the young swordsman.

Half a year after disappearing, the killer Yang Huan, who flew out of the stone castle in the red-roofed Dapeng, reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and challenged the Jinpeng killer in many places, and the terrifying legend caused by it was rendered layer by layer, all the way to Shule City, which became a topic of discussion in the streets, and everyone was more interested in the man-eating demon bird, and felt that the killer relied on its power to survive until now.

Only Xu Xiaoyi was afraid of the killer himself, he was frightened, he moved out of the brothel on the same day, took out the remaining silver tickets to settle the accounts, and found that he couldn't explain to Brother Huan, fortunately, he was already very familiar with Shule City, touched some ways to do business, and was confident that he would earn back the capital or even more within a year, but this was not enough, he reorganized many things he heard in the brothel, and felt that there would be information that Brother Huan was interested in, which was enough to deal with it temporarily.

Not long after, sure enough, someone came to Xu and Chu and asked them to go to the designated place to meet the "old acquaintance".

Xu Xiaoyi went nervously, not mentioning the matter of money, and threw out the information he had collected, including the affairs of King Shule that circulated in a small and medium-sized area in the Qinglou industry.

It is said that the king of Shule once paid a private visit to Weifu, had an affair with a very famous prostitute, and even gave birth to a child, and the mother of the famous prostitute was also very famous, and moved from Biyu City to the local area in the early years, called Zi Linglong.

This name flashed in Gu Shenwei's mind, and it wasn't until Xu Xiaoyi said a lot of information that he suddenly remembered its origin, wasn't the woman mentioned by Master Tie Hanfeng in an affectionate memory her?

I can't tell what kind of mentality it is, Gu Shenwei became interested in this matter, he didn't believe in the story of King Shule, prostitutes often made up some stories to raise their own value, Xu Xiaoyi actually didn't believe it, it was completely to make his information appear "important", so he said it.

Xu Xiaoyi was instructed to continue to listen to the news of Zi Linglong's mother and daughter.

Zi Linglong has long passed away, her daughter has fallen into the dust, she has been a prostitute for a while, and later married well, she does have a daughter, who hides at home all the year round, and the neighbors have never seen this little girl, only know that her name is Tie Linglong, and her father is not the same surname.

Xu Xiaoyi really couldn't find out anything, this family was ordinary, in his opinion, it was impossible to have anything to do with the royal family, just when he was about to give up, an ordinary family suffered an unusual tragedy: a gang of bandits broke in at night, killed the husband and wife and slaves, and kidnapped the little girl.

Xu Xiaoyi smelled the smell of conspiracy from it, was extremely excited, inquired everywhere, and finally determined that this was not a simple home robbery, the bandits had a clear goal, that is, to kill people, and the little girl should have been among the people who were killed, but this group of people was very unprofessional, and they betrayed the trust of their employers, took the little girl away, sold it to human traffickers, and got another sum of money.

Subsequently, a second group of robbers was hired and ordered to hunt down the traffickers and all the slaves, leaving no one behind, without any special mention of the little girl, and the robbers were very dedicated and almost completed their task, only to be interrupted by the killers who arrived in time.

Xu Xiaoyi has never figured out the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and as for Tie Linglong, she believes that her biological parents have been killed, but she is not clear about the reason at all.

Gu Shenwei didn't bother to find an enemy for her, it was Tie Linglong's own business, she should have hatred in her heart, grow into a real killer, and then take revenge herself.

It wasn't until he saw King Shule, who was also green-eyed, that three borrowed knives and murdered people came to the door together, and Gu Shenwei found out that the little girl he saved on a whim might be helpful, and the rumors of the king's private visit to prostitutes may be true.

Xu Xiaoyi couldn't provide more information, and Gu Shenwei asked Tie Linglong carefully for the first time why she had a father, but she had to follow her grandfather's surname.

Tie Linglong couldn't tell why, she had only seen her parents and two or three servants before she was ten years old, and she had no way of knowing how strange it was not to follow her father's surname, so she never asked why, but she learned from her mother that her grandfather was a killer and lived in Biyu City.

The childhood memory was vague, Tie Linglong worked hard to recall under the inducement of Gu Shenwei, and finally remembered a small thing in ordinary life, that was when she was five or six years old, a young man with the same green eyes often came to see her, claiming to be her "brother", bringing her many gifts, which lasted for about a year, and the "brother" never came again.

The day before the second court meeting, Gu Shenwei and Xu Xiaoyi purposefully excavated information, and quickly pieced together the following facts: King Shule and the crown prince's eyes are green, but Prime Minister Shi Xian is not, he and the king have the same father, and their appearance is quite different, and King Shule's mother is from a distant western country, and her appearance is very different from that of the locals of Shule country.

There were too many eyeliners around King Shule, so Gu Shenwei decided to start from the prince's side and break the balance of the three conspiracies.

The prince has always been wary of his uncle Prime Minister Shi, and the people around him have been selected to ensure that he is not monitored, Xu Xiaoyi sent a letter to the prince through personal relations, asking him to meet that night, and there was only one sentence in the letter: "Green-eyed sister wants to see my brother." ”

Gu Shenwei took Tie Linglong to the agreed place, the little girl had long been unable to recognize the hooded "brother", and after a while, she was ordered to go outside to inspect the safety.

The crown prince confessed everything to the Dragon King, King Shule once had an affair with Tie Linglong's mother, and caused a storm in the palace for this matter, so it didn't take long for it to end, and he didn't even know that he had an illegitimate daughter outside.

A few years later, when the queen heard some rumors and ordered the prince to investigate, the prince found out that he had an extra sister, and he did not tell his mother or reveal it to his father, but secretly took care of the family and warned them not to let his daughter appear in front of outsiders.

After a few more years, the queen heard from other sources that there was a little girl with green eyes in the city, and that her mother was the same cheap woman, so she was furious, and even hired two groups of assassins in succession to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and when the prince found out, it was too late to stop it.

This is Tie Linglong's life experience, Gu Shenwei also revealed some secrets, and after some discussion with the prince, an agreement was reached: the prince helped the Dragon King achieve the purpose of borrowing the road for the Great Snow Mountain, and then he would properly settle his sister and prevent her from being hurt in the slightest, while the Dragon King would keep Tie Linglong's life experience secret and not let the scandal of the royal family spread everywhere.

It was not an easy task to accuse the two most important ministers of evil intentions and to gain Shule's trust at the same time, and the prince entered the palace to secretly persuade the king to act in a play, which was not in accordance with royal etiquette, but was the quickest way to obtain direct evidence.

In this way, everything went according to plan, Gu Shenwei took advantage of the chaos to kill Shangguan Tian, and then left the palace when the guards were empty, lest King Shule and the crown prince also want to kill people.

He didn't go back to his residence, nor did he see anyone, he rode away from Shule City alone, leaving the finishing things to Fang Wensi, he wanted to return to the Great Snow Mountain as soon as possible, and lead the swordsmen to a surprise attack before Jinpeng Fort was fully prepared.

In a small inn more than ten miles away from Shule City, he still had to meet someone.

The killers in the Jinpeng Dart Bureau suddenly disappeared, and Shangguan Hong knew that what he was expecting would happen, so he took all the money, took a horse, and lied about going out for a walk, but in fact quickly escaped from Shule City.

Shangguan Tian and the people in the dart game didn't take this Hong Gongzi seriously, but Gu Shenwei wanted to talk to him.

Shangguan Hong had just left the city not far away, he was stopped by five swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain, he had never been taught profound martial arts, and his skills were not as good as ordinary swordsmen, so he was pulled off the horse in three or two strokes, hijacked into a small inn, and waited for the dragon king to interrogate.

Time was pressing, Gu Shenwei pulled out the narrow knife as soon as he entered the house, he understood the nature of Hong Gongzi, and he didn't plan to go around in circles, "Shangguan Tian is dead." ”

"yes. Shangguan Hong's mind didn't turn around for a while, and he thought that he was Huan Nu's accomplice, and he didn't understand the threatening meaning of this sentence.

"Your surname is Shangguan, I have to kill you. ”

Shangguan Hong smiled, this was not a calm smile, but a tacit smile, "Mr. Zhang reminded me, he asked me to tell you, 'Why do you want to kill Hong Gongzi, he is your most useful ally in Jinpeng Castle', really, Huan Nu, I am willing to help you, you want revenge, I ...... It's a little ambitious, and the people of the Shangguan family are all obstacles for me. ”

Shangguan Hong is an obedient person, sometimes he is too obedient, no matter what Gu Shenwei thinks, he feels that Zhang Ji is also playing the trick of killing people with a knife, and he doesn't want Hong Gongzi to return to Jinpeng Fort alive at all.

The scheming Zhang Ji hid his true purpose quite deeply, and Gu Shenwei couldn't figure it out for a while, but he didn't want to be a scapegoat for anyone, so he put the narrow knife flat on Shangguan Hong's shoulder, "You may be useful, but you have to give me some handle so that I can trust you." ”

Shangguan Hong remembered many terrifying legends about Huan Nu's murder, and finally found that the cold young man in front of him was no longer the slave he was familiar with, and his heart sank, and he immediately said what Zhang Ji taught him, "I, I and Zhang Ji designed to kill the fifth young master Shangguan Yi, this is a secret, no one has ever known." ”

Gu Shenwei has been paying attention to the movements of Jinpeng Castle, Shangguan Yi committed suicide a year ago, he knows it, as for whether it is related to Shangguan Hong, it is not necessarily, "This secret is useless, if I tell it, it will only make Dubu Wang like you more." ”

The narrow knife tilted slightly, and the sharp tip of the knife cut through the clothes and skin, and a small stream of blood flowed down the blade.

Shangguan Hong's mind buzzed, Zhang Ji's prediction has always been very accurate, why did it fail this time? Huan Nu should believe him, and even hug him, "Wait." ”

"Hmm. ”

"I have one more secret. ”

Gu Shenwei was just scaring Hong Gongzi, he had already decided to stay alive, he didn't expect to squeeze out another secret," he said. ”

"It's Mrs. Meng, she has a secret. Shangguan Hong looked at the killer with fear and anticipation, completely forgetting the difference in identity between the two.
